What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a learning disorder where children struggle to read, write, spell, or pronounce words. It affects
their ability to decode language and recognize words by sight, which can lead to difficulties in school
performance. Dyslexia does not reflect intelligence — many children with dyslexia are highly capable learners.

Early intervention and support can help children manage challenges effectively, improving confidence, reading
skills, and overall academic outcomes.

Types of Dyslexia
